The Best Knockouts

Just a fun article really to hear some views on the greatest knockouts you have seen.

A couple that stick in my mind:

Rahman vs Lewis 2 - Amazing jab and right hand straight on the button knocking Rahman cold.

Hearns vs Duran - blitzed in round one but the finishing shot in round 2 was amazing. Straight on the jaw with no defence. Was a super punch.

what about you guys? What sticks in your mind?

Will leave it for someone else to wax lyrical about Robinson Fullmer but for a reaonably obscure one you could do worse than Wayne Alexander separating Takaloo from his senses, absolutely brutal.

Ray Leonard - Andy Price..........Leonard's left hooks were like blurs with Price trapped on the ropes........Interesting to see a guy go from conscious to semi-conscious to unconscious in the space of ten seconds..........

Nelson - Cowdell.........beautiful........

Hearns-Shuler.........The perfect right hand..

Nunn - Kalambay.........Strange watching how an accomplished pro could make such an amateurish mistake..

Calvin Brock on Zuri Lawrence has always been a favourite of mine, the way Lawrence just drops to the floor is quite sickening.

Honeyghan on Curry. Just so unexpected at the time

James Bonecrusher Smith on Bruno.

Thought you wanted knockouts..

Withdrawn. I must watch that fight again. Could have sworn it ended with a knockout!

It has to be kenny rainford vs brian sutherland for me...not brutal but really funny.

Quite liked Gavin Henson getting Ko'd in a Bath bar....

Still reckon the best one I've seen is Jimmy Thunder's 1 punch destruction of Crawford Grimsley is the best

Haha! Sutherland! That was a very funny fight to be fair.

as was Hensons KO defeat against his own team mate in a bar Sean. Was classic "sit down and stop gobbing off".

Problem with Henson is he's had some of that scrumptious church pie..........and people are jealous........including team mates........

I'd swap my Mrs for her anytime...........gorgeous.........

Before being sacked by Toulon he was knocked out twice in one night team mates. Even then he tried have a further go. Nasty piece of work by all accounts and ironically no one mentioned his missus. It was him stating that he could smash any one of their wives or partners if he wanted to.

Rugger buggers think they are tough, but they are just posh wimps really.

Uses the same fake tan as me.........but hasn't got my deep voice and accent........

Few of us are chosen...........

606v2 Personal Ads, there's an idea...

Just pm me instead If you're interested....The blue oyster does a great fillet with all the trimmings..

Matthew Saad Muhammad v Lotte Mwale
Sugar Ray Leonard v Dave Boy Green.
10 count not needed for either fight.

Ricardo Lopez v Ala Villamor

Damn you, Tina! Damn you all the way to hell!

Leonard certainly knew how to finish Nico...Can't be many greater finishers in the sport..If he had you going...you were gone....

One from the old days would be Johnson - Ketchel.............Supposed to go 15 but Ketchel took the liberty of trying to steal the title..........and was crushed by a devastating shot..........

Just think If Johnson hadn't have got up..........Ketchel probably becomes a top 20 all time great.........

Is Gavin Henson really a woman's dream man? Looks like a bit of a woofta with all that fake tan and a swift one to the chops and he folds like a deck of cards. All you'd have to do is cheap shot him when he's chatting up your bird.

Always worth another look though, Super!

He's a woofta and yet you are looking to cheap shot him..........

Doesn't say much for you Lumbers..

I have a DVD with that fight on, well most of the fight, it actually skips the two knockdowns. Very odd.

Never even tried one Sean mate.........My vice was sex and like all the Americans stationed over here in ww2 I over indulged.............

Maybe we are related ???????

Indeed, Vilamor crumples like a cheap concertina played by a ham-fisted, drunk Bostonian wearing leather lederhosen!

Bramble - Rosario..........Is one i watch a lot.....25 years later I still struggle to see how a guy fighting on a card that was to lead to a million dollar showdown and who prided himself on having a "Coconut head" just allows himself to be battered on the ropes and then quits......in just two rounds...

Surreal at the time and still Is!!!!!!!!!

I'd beat him like the sissy he is. But I'm talking about people that are not as physically gifted as me.
